This is how King Charles congratulated his son Harry
On September 15, King Charles took to social media to mark Harry’s special day. The official royal Instagram account shared a photo of Prince Harry at an event, though the exact date of the photo remains unclear.
"Wishing The Duke of Sussex a very happy 40th birthday today!" reads the post, accompanied by a cake emoji. While the public message is brief, it is widely believed that King Charles will reach out to his son privately as well.
A few hours later, William made a surprising move. The official account of the Prince and Princess of Wales shared the same photo in their Instagram story, writing, ""Wishing a Happy 40th Birthday to the Duke of Sussex." This gesture is unexpected, given the current strain in William and Harry's relationship. Could this be a sign of reconciliation?
